Remember? User's Guide |
It's been a hard day. You walk in the front door and see your spouse/child/long-haired hamster waiting there with a happy, hopeful expression plastered on his/her/its puss. Panic! You've done it again. Forgotten another birthday ... or ... You just couldn't wait to learn who is really Cartmans second cousin but forgot, missed the show and the big revelation that once again its his mother (go figure.) Well, maybe Remember? can help.
You enter descriptions of events of interest and, when you turn on your Mac, Remember? informs you of those that require your attention. Events with a specific starting time can also trigger a pop-up reminder with optional sound up to 24 hours in advance.
Requires MacOS 7.0 or later.

While it does support sharing event lists on a network, this package was designed as a personal reminder package. If you can coax it to handle your group scheduling needs, great, but bear in mind that is not its "raison d'être."
An occasion is the complete definition of one of your events. Every occasion has a description ("Roger Birthday", "Trip to Tuva", "Mother's Day"), a date pattern that determines when it occurs ("april 5", "7/12/96", "second sunday, may"), an optional start time and alert time for pop-up reminders.
A simple date pattern for one specific date (month, day of month and year as in "March 21, 1997") is a one-time occasion. It expires the day after that date, when it can never occur again. A repeating occasion appears on two or more dates. It could be a weekly meeting, anniversary, birthday or some other more exotic pattern. (see: Creating & Editing Occasions). A multi-day occasion spans more than one day with a duration from 2 to 255 days.
Persistent occasions are automatic 'to do' items. They nag you by continuing to appear under today's date until you mark them as completed. Handy for items that you cannot ignore, like bills. When you handle an occasion before it's actual date, you can mark it as completed and it will advance to its next occurrence. This is how you get rid of those nagging persistent occasions.
An occasion file is a collection of occasions contained in a Macintosh document. Only occasion files on the active occasion file list contribute occasions to your schedule.
Occasion Types help you to categorize occasions and assign shared attributes, such as text style and advance notification period, to your events.
A Window Set is an arrangement of scheduling windows. Each window's size, position and date range type displayed is retained. Most users only need concern themselves with the Default set which is opened when Remember? starts up.
